Our school has a profound mission, to help every student succeed. Every spring we launch our single most important fundraiser of the year. Generous families in the JSIS community come together to donate funds and ensure our school has the resources to fund this mission.

Each year, JSIS 4th and 5th volunteer to participate in a city-wide battle of the books sponsored by the Seattle Public Library called the Global Reading Challenge. 84 students volunteered to take on this extra reading challenge this year. Since October, students have worked in teams to read and discuss the ten GRC titles. The teams are mixed grade levels with students from both Japanese and Spanish classes. In addition to reading diverse books, the GRC allows students to meet and get to know others outside of their assigned classrooms. Congratulations to the following students:

This summer our district and school websites are receiving a major facelift. Our first priority for the website redesign project is to ensure families, students, staff, and community can easily find critical district and school resources.
